anybody used one of these?
Found one of these & it peaked my curiosity. I was wondering if anybody here had any experience with it & if it would be as good as an AEM cold-air intake? :dunno:

Waste of money.. the piping is real long so the engine has to work harder to suck in air. Since the filter is up front it will get all wet and dirty when it rains and bugs will get all up in it too. Besides Ill make fun of you for having a wannabe fmic.

It looks alright, but that would be a good/bad place for an intake filter. Good because it'll get alot of air, but bad cuz there'll be zillions of bugs and crap stuck to that thing, so cleaning it will be a bitch.
I would just suggest getting a real AEM Intake, go with something thats been tested and proven for gains, not something made to look cool. Either way its your money, its your car do what you want.

that's what i thought. probably just go w/ the aem w/ the bypass valve. right now i've got a cheap-assed short ram that sounds pretty good. i got it off ebay. i paid 40 bucks for it shipped (the filter was worth that).

The RS Racng Cold Front Intake Systems are designed to be mounted in the front of the vehicle, allowing cool, clean air to enter the intake system. Features a removable lexan window that helps protect the filter element from hazards. However, it can be removed for race purposes. Many applications currently available.
...sooo, there is a plexiglass screen to block it off... and the air it sucks in too? :thumbdwn:
